Pegdinetanib (USAN; planned trade name Angiocept) is an investigational anti-cancer drug that acts as a selective antagonist of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2), hindering vascularization of tumors. It is a genetically engineered peptide derivative based on the monobody technology, and is being developed by Adnexus.[1][2]

The drug has entered Phase II clinical trials investigating the treatment of glioblastoma in October 2007.[3][4] As of August 2012, it is also in Phase II trials for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer[5] and colorectal cancer.[6]

Chemical structure

Pegdinetanib is a peptide consisting of 94 amino acids, with cysteine number 93 carrying a doubly methoxy-PEGylated maleimide derivative with a molecular mass of 40 kDa.[7]
